Wiring a camper shell's third brake light is a straightforward process, and does not require you to run a wire from the BCM to the exterior.

All you need to do is use the Pacer Performance 3rd Brake Light Logic Module # PP20-702, which has three wires, two yellow wires and a green wire. Simply tap into your F-150's turn signals with the yellow wires and run the green wire to the third brake light. What this module does is filter out the turn signals and lights up the brake light when you hit the brakes.

If you take a look at the cut out of the linked installation instructions I added you can see exactly how it wires.
